Where is the Snapshot API used?

Structure

Headers

Email messages have headers that provide metadata about the message itself. Most of this information is hidden from the person reading an email message. You can use some of this information to verify that the snapshot came from a Linden Lab server.

global_y

local_x

integer

The regions horizontal location of where the avatar was standing when the snapshot was taken.

local_y

Message

Although you could use the entire HTML source code of a message, it is often not wanted. The original message contains additional information that is not needed. The message that the end-user wrote in the postcard itself is identified with comments:

<!-- BEGIN POSTCARD BODY -->
test message
<!-- END POSTCARD BODY -->

HTML Entities will be encoded. "<" will appear as "&lt;".

Referral Bonus

Snapshots include a URL to invite others to join them. If a new account is created from following the link, and certain conditions are met, then the sender could receive a bonus. This URL is wrapped around the logo in the message.
